Luke 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Oh, yeah - what I told Bucky goes for you too, missy. Of course it goes for all Bucky clones.
Now, the point you made was a good one, but, was Abraham really in heaven? Jesus said no one but the one who descended from heaven has ascended to heaven, didn't he?
Where was David? Heaven? Nope. David was in hell. Jesus? Jesus was in hell. Jonah? He thought he was in hell in the belly of the fish, but that, as it turned out, wasn't his grave. He's in hell now. You see? Just common sense. You don't need a scholar. No concordance. No interlinear. No class. I don't have any class and look at me? Huh?
Don't change the subject. Respond to this. Agree or not. And why to either.
The Jews did not believe in immortality. "For dust thou art and unto DUST thou shalt return".
Even Paul did not buy into immortalitryt for all. "PUT ON Immortality ... ".
Someday soon, you ought to take "Beligions for Beginners". What an ignoramus.
The Jews did NOT believe in hell.
They believed in Sheol, and as was shown to you, it was NOT what you said. After it was shown to you to NOT be what you said, you as the coward you are
ignored the proof you were wrong. https://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/13563-sheol
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
